In a two run game the Baltimore Orioles got by the Detroit Tigers by the score
of 4 to 2.
Baltimore tallied 2 runs in the 2nd inning when they had 3 base hits. They
would be enough to earn the win. Detroit had a chance to come back in the
9th but they came up short.
Erv Palica(4-12) picked up the victory, allowing 1 run in 6 innings. Palica
was helped out by Bill Wight who recorded his 2nd save. Steve Gromek(6-11)
took the loss.
Bucky Harris was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts. If our
guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one.
That is what really ticks me off!'

WEB GEMS- Top 4th: Gene Woodling robbed Roy Sievers of a Homerun!
One run was the difference at Municipal Stadium as the Cleveland Indians
defeated the dreadful Washington Nationals in 12 innings 3 to 2.
The score was tied at 2 after nine. Cleveland came out the victor in the 12th
inning. After an out was recorded, Bobby Avila drew a walk. Gene Woodling
was next and he doubled making Cleveland the winners and sending the 40,820
fans home happy. Cleveland rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon.
Bob Lemon(13-10) was the winner allowing no runs in 1/3 of an inning. Johnny
Schmitz(8-9) was hit with the loss in relief. He allowed 1 hit and 1 walk in
1 and 1/3 innings.
Cleveland now has a record of 75-53. Chuck Dressen was pretty down after the
loss. 'We've really been sputtering along lately, something like 2-8 in the
last week or two. That won't get it done.'
Mickey Mantle hit a 3 run homer and New York held on over Chicago for a 7-6 win and doubleheader sweep.
